Does WP_ALLOW_REPAIR cause a droplet to be restored?

Posted on July 31, 2018

I used WP_ALLOW_REPAIR / repair.php because of a mysql crash and now my droplet was restored to a different state than it was. I have no idea to which backup it was restored too, or even if WP_ALLOW_REPAIR was the one that restored it. Where can I get in-depth data about this?

Hello,

The WP_ALLOW_REPAIR constant, when used, activates the native WordPress feature to repair corrupted tables in the database.

It should not cause your droplet to be restored, it’s a WordPress constant used to repair tables.
